Already found a solution myself: you simply need to leave the regular price blank and set is as a sales price instead. This avoids the strikethrough and still activates the countdown. Maybe someone else might find this helpful to know :)

I realize that the plugin don’t work on the homepage which is a bummer. I really need this function because I only sell one product at the time. As you can (not) see at my homepage, there are no counter.. This is very urgent and important for future projects!

If i may explain further.. The product on the homepage is a shortcode in Woocommerce based on SKU. So I am actually displaying the whole single product page on the homepage – which makes me wondering why the counter doesn’t display on the homepage with all the other informations like “description”, “short description”, “reviews” etc.

Is there a simple and temporary solution to this issue? Maybe hardcode it until the next version?

Hey Jimmy,
I’ve just updated the plugin so that it’s now possible to add the countdown even on the home page. Please check out if it works for you. Hint: Go to the settings page and choose product for the home page. Then activate the countdown on this product (set it to ON).

This was much faster for me than providing an ugly hack (which always will lead to problems).

If you’ve entered the purchase code on the settings page you should get the update right from your WordPress update page on the backend. If not, please shot me a short email providing your purchase code and I will send it right to you. I’ve also submitted the changes to CodeCanyon but they are a little slow when it comes to previewing updated items. So this will take at least 1 day till it pops up there.

Hope this helps. And if you have any other questions, please don’t hesitate to contact me again.

Hey Richard,
and thanks for your comment. Unfortunately this is very difficult to achieve. Nearly very plugin and theme uses their own filters and I’m not able to test every single plugin and theme :-)
But: what plugin are you using to create your slideshows? Maybe I can help you out on this…

We’re looking for a plugin that can countdown for an estimated delivery time and this comes the closest so far. We just want something like ‘Order within ‘X countdown’ minutes for shipping on ‘X date’.

Hello Flow, first of all thank you for your plugin, I really appreciate your work. But I am having trouble setting countdown on the homepage. I followed your instructions you posted a few posts up in this discussion, but I only see the countdown in product page, but not on the homepage. Would you be so kind to help me troubleshoot this problem? 10x in advance for any form of assistance.

This is a good plugin and the one time I had to contact you for support you were really nice and helpful even though it was my dumb fault for not reading your instructions. :( Thanks!

Feature requests:

– Ability to use more than one countdown on a page (probably suggested before)
– Ability to call to specific product’s countdown with shortcode (e.g., [product_countdown id=”500″]). I have a page where I’d like all current countdowns to go.

I like the plugin, but in my opinion lacked key functionality:
A button BUY with a link to the product that is on offer + the possibility to display the fade on every page of my store. This would increase rather conversion and visibility of supply.

The way it is honestly think there is not much use since most visitors enter my store home page, or by the landing pages and they do not see that there is a product on offer.

I think a nice feature or a new plugin, would be to allow a countdown that ends in the middle of the day. And that doesn’t have to have a sale to work. I bought this to see of I could make it work for a Same day Item Ship Count down clock. But I was wrong. But If you added this into the next update It would be awesome. For Example Our same day ship time ends at 3:00 P.M. Every day. It would be nice to have a countdown clock that would warn our customers that they only have 1 hour to purchase or the item wont be shipped today. And this would roll over every day, Not on a set schedule and not only when on sale.

Can you make it like the scarcity plug-in used in Shopify where they have the message showing up beneath the add to cart button on the product page showing? Sample: Hurry up! Only 8 items left on stock.

An ever green option is what I seek. And that I get with another plugin I purchased here but not the WC integration :(

For example, for a landingpage (LP) we’re making one of our affiliates. I want a special price on a particular product or the downsell option product, but I don’t want it for everyone, just for his list. So we’re making in VC a branded page for the affiliate and I want it with an evergreen scarcity option.

Any idea how this can be accomplished with your plugin or a combination with the visual-composer-addon-countdown-rocket plugin?

Hi!
An evergreen means that you can set countdown to say 14h 24min 09sec and it remembers visitor by IP and cookie and if didn’t purchase and later returns visitor sees remaining time. If it got to zero can redirect or show special image etc.

Another visitor arrives 30 minutes later or 3 months later and also gets that countdown.

For now I had to clone a product for my affiliate and make it reduced price, make a branded lander and put on it the evergreen countdown. if his visitor is too late to act on the offer he gets redirected to regular product page (in my case to the regular lander).

Not sure how to make it work with WC – it would need to have a function to manage date sales per visitor I guess? Can be big hassle to again and again make clones of products and landers per each affiliate!
:)

I’m happy to use this plugin
Please add Cookie Detection and IP Address to reset the time for different visitors and redirect url when the time is finished
Add also auto reset hours or days
Like the Everly Counter Timer plugin made by IntellyWP but for the single product page
